Pan Han recalled the rules of the third level: Ice, Heat, Torture, and Beauty, each worth 5 points. Passing all of them would earn him a full 20 points, but it would likely take a week, and he would only be given one day's worth of food at most.
"Fuck!" Pan Han cursed inwardly, picked up the menu again, and ordered a few lobsters and steaks.
He casually tossed two more packs of cigarettes to Mo Li: "Mr. Mo, you won't lose anything!"
"Haha, no problem, I'll let you eat as much as you want!"
…
When they returned to the trial base, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Pan Han was so exhausted that he could hardly walk, so Cheng Xiao supported him and walked slowly.
"Cheng Xiao, I'm afraid you can't make it tonight. You go to sleep alone!" Pan Han said, touching his belly.
"I know. It seems like everyone wants the same thing every day!" Cheng Xiao blushed instantly, like a newly married young wife who was tasting the delicacies of the world for the first time.
"Tsk! I don't know who it was, screaming and yelling last night."
"Oh, this is so annoying!"
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. Pan Han kissed Cheng Xiao goodbye and followed the convoy to the third level trial site.
This place is not as big as the first level of Dead Rising, because it only has two small levels, Ice and Heat, which take up more space.
The administrator gave each trial participant an emergency backpack containing one day's rations, some props, flint, gauze, needle and thread, rope, etc.
"Everyone, listen carefully. Everyone must go through the two levels of Ice and Heat, and the cumulative time must not be less than 5 days. After completing them, the bracelet will send a reminder, and then you will go to the Torture and Beauty levels. Do you understand?" After distributing the emergency backpacks, the administrator said to the family.
"clear!"
"Those who do not spend more than 5 days in the first two levels, or who have not passed the two levels at the end of 7 days, will be considered as having failed and will receive 0 points!" the administrator added.
"Understood!" everyone answered in unison.
Pan Han thought about it and realized that as long as he followed the rules and made it through the freezing cold and scorching heat, he could still get 10 points even if he failed the rest. If he didn't follow the rules, he would get 0 points!
Another rule to widen the gap!
Humph, scheming bitch Zodiac!
By then, many people may not be able to pass the first two levels, and will be eliminated with 0 points, basically saying goodbye to the competition.
"Everyone, get ready to go, good luck." The manager opened the car door and pushed people out.
Just like the first level, everyone still passes through a gate and enters the wall.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw a violent blizzard and biting cold!
Pan Han looked at the bracelet prompt, minus 23 degrees Celsius!
The trial participants all wear tight-fitting competition suits provided by the Zodiac. They can wear any outer clothes they want, but the weight and number of pieces cannot exceed the regulations.
Pan Han adhered to the regulations and wore a fleece jacket to protect him from rain, snow and moisture, and tactical pants with thickened knee protection.
After straightening his collar and putting on his hat, Pan Han felt that the temperature was now bearable.
I looked at the other trial participants who came in together, and everyone was in good condition.
So everyone dispersed and went their separate ways.
Compared to the scorching heat, Pan Han prefers to stay in a cold environment.
After all, if it’s cold, you just need to eat more and wear more clothes, but if it’s hot, you can’t do it even if you take off all your clothes!
Therefore, his tentative strategy was to stay here for four and a half days, and then leave for the remaining half day to go out into the heat.
After walking for less than three minutes, all the other trial participants disappeared from sight.
The snowstorm was so strong that visibility was limited to about ten meters. Pan Han could only move forward slowly, braving the wind and snow.
The cold wind howled past, the biting cold made people shiver. The snow on the surface was very soft, and every step required effort, making Pan Han's progress even more difficult.
The most urgent thing now is to find a place to shelter from the wind, such as a cave or a pothole.
However, since Pan Han thought so, it was inevitable that others would think so as well. If they all set their eyes on the same place, disputes were inevitable.
Pan Han thinks he is not afraid of anyone, but now he is the top brother on the list. If others meet him, they will definitely beat him to death, and he will be the only one at a disadvantage.
So he turned on the bracelet prompts and checked the terrain.
The terrain of the Frost Level is exceptionally rugged, with undulating terrain and snow-covered hills and glaciers everywhere. Icicles and icebergs can be found everywhere on the snowy plains, like sentinels of the cold world, guarding the progress of the trialists.
"Damn it, let's not go to the glacier or the hill. We can only walk back and find a small forest." Pan Han determined the direction and walked straight back. About two kilometers away, there was a small forest.
But just after walking less than 100 meters, I suddenly felt the cold wind getting stronger.
Looking at the bracelet, the temperature has dropped to -30℃.
"Oh my god! What the hell!" Even though it's only a 7℃ difference, the feeling is completely different!
Pan Han thought it was just right just now, but now it’s a bit cold.
After walking less than 200 meters, the temperature dropped to minus 35 degrees Celsius!
After walking less than 200 meters, the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius!
"Fuck, at this rate, by the time we get to the woods, the temperature will be -100°C!"
Pan Han finally stopped. -40℃ was the limit of what he could endure at the moment.
"I can't walk anymore." He began to move his body to accumulate some heat in his clothes.
He began to look around and saw a rocky hill in the distance that looked like it would provide some shelter from the wind.
Although I'm extremely reluctant, it's better than freezing to death! Plans can never keep up with changes!
Pan Han walked towards the hill, stepping over the snow-covered ground step by step. The wind and snow continued to blow, but he moved forward resolutely.
Finally, he climbed up the hill and stood on a relatively flat area. Although the cold wind was still biting, it was relatively quiet compared to the stormy wasteland.
Pan Han began to explore the hills, hoping to find a relatively secluded place that could provide some protection. He found that there were some huge rocks and concave terrain on the hills that could provide some shelter from the wind.
He found a relatively spacious depression, put the backpack aside, and secured it with a rope.
Pan Han sat in the windproof shelter, leaning against the rock wall, trying to minimize his exposure to the wind and snow.
Look at the bracelet, it’s now minus 50 degrees Celsius!
This place can shelter you from the wind, but it can't withstand the cold! Pan Han can only keep stamping his feet to keep his body warm.
Normally, he could keep dancing like this all day long!
But the current environment is even more physically demanding and hopeless. If I jump like this, I will only die!
"Damn, the Zodiac is so stingy! They don't even want to give me a blanket!" Although the windbreaker is windproof, it is not very cold-resistant. Pan Han imagined that he had a thick scarf and a blanket, and he would be very happy.
What?
A small stone rolled down and hit Pan Han's head, causing him to rub his head.
When he looked up, he was shocked! His legs went weak and he almost fell down.
